Make the last stitch of the round just as you would before starting a new round.
Cut it about 8-10cm away from where you are working.The extra thread is called the "tail".
You should have a loop on the hook.Now, take the thread from the hook and pull it through the loop as if you were making another chain stitch.
Now, instead of making a new chain with the thread, pull it all the way through the buttonhole.
Give the thread a sharp tug, you should be able to see the loops around and behind tightening, and the whole work will end in a knot.You're technically done, but you shouldn't stop because this step is incomplete.

Sew the ends. Sew the ends and tail of the yarn through the stitches you made.It is used to hide the tail and prevent the knot from unraveling.
- There are various theories about the best way to sew thread through your work.Some use a needle, others a crochet hook, still others weave the thread back and forth between the stitches of the first or second round, others pull it in a single row in the center of the first round.Try various methods, but in general they should all work well.

Do this as if you were working normally in a circle.Chain a little more to start a new round.
Cut the thread about 8-10cm from where you are working.This thread is called the "tail".
Now, pull the buttonhole until all the thread is pulled and you have a free tail.^{[1]

Take a needle and thread the thread through it.
So you will have the two sides in a circle, separated by a "v" space.The needle and thread should be on one side:you have to take them to the other side.Place the needle just under the first stitch, pass the initial part and pull the thread under the two buttonholes.
Pull the thread together to join the two sides of the "v" and close the gap.
Go back to the last stitch you made, on the first side.Pass the thread through the back loop of this first stitch, from the front, and then pull it.It should now look like a normal chain in the outer loop, completely invisible.
Sew them at the bottom, through the center, and then back up to the top.Sewing in two directions will be necessary to prevent the tail from coming loose.
